Packers fans blame the replacement referees for the ruling that gave the Seattle Seahawks a 14-12 victory that Monday night, Sept. 24.

A desperation pass from Russell Wilson on the final play seemed to be intercepted by Green Bay’s M.D. Jennings. But Seattle’s Golden Tate wrestled his way to what was ruled simultaneous possession and a winning touchdown.

Green Bay fans think the NFL settling with its regular referees the next week upholds their frustration with the ruling.

Now the Packers are putting disappointment behind them and becoming fans of the Seahawks.

“Without looking in the past, we have to root for a team we fell short to,” linebacker Clay Matthews said Thursday. “We’ll control our own destiny by winning these out and hopefully we can get some help along the way.”

San Francisco (10-3-1), see, is just ahead of Green Bay (10-4) for the NFC’s No. 2 seed. The 49ers play at Seattle on Sunday night.

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers calls it having “a short memory, kind of rooting for the teams that you need to win.”

“There’s a lot of what-ifs,” Rodgers said. “Nothing we can do about it.”

No, but Seattle can.

“We want home field,” receiver James Jones said, “so hopefully they get it done.”

SNOW PACK

The Packers are looking for more help than the Seahawks can provide.

The team seeks as many as 600 people to start clearing snow from Lambeau Field today. The first big storm of the season is expected to dump up to a foot of snow before the Packers play host to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.

Shovelers must be at least 15 years old. The Packers will pay $10 per hour.

RG3 PRACTICES

Quarterback Robert Griffin III looks healthy.

The Washington rookie had a full practice for the second straight day as the team prepares for this week’s game against Philadelphia.

“I like what I see,” coach Mike Shanahan said. “If there is no setback, he should be ready to go.”

Griffin was held out last week against Cleveland after he suffered a sprained right knee against Baltimore.

COLTS’ PAGANO WELL

Doctors cleared Indianapolis Colts coach Chuck Pagano to go back to work. He is expected to return to the team complex as early as Monday.

“Medically, I see no reason he cannot come back when he’s ready to try and come back,” Dr. Larry Cripe said.

Pagano was diagnosed with leukemia in late September, when he began chemotherapy.
